How much does a fan heater cost to run for 1 hour?

Answer 1

most electric space heaters use between 1kw and 1.5kw. for instance if yours has a low and high it will prob be around 1.2kw on low and 1.5kw on high. check your electric bill and see how much you pay per kwh and then multiply that by the mumbers above and that is how much it will cost per hour to run the heater

A:Portable Electric Heaters

Portable electric heaters are perfect for heating smaller areas, rooms or garages. There are basically four types: quartz, infrared, ceramic and wire element. Infrared heaters have no fan thus no moving parts where the other three have fans to force air past their heating elements. These require no venting and can be used in enclosed areas. They are 100 percent efficient, that is , they output 100 percent of the energy that is input. Unlike vented gas heaters which exhaust a certain percentage of hot gas (energy) outdoors. They are relatively inexpensive to operate. Below is some information on how to calculate the cost to operate an electric heater:

Answer 2

Electricity is billed in kilowatt hours. Look at your electric bill for the cost per KW Hr and multiply by .6

A typical cost migt be about 15 cents per KW hr. so it would cost about 9 cents.

Answer 3

Since an electric heater is a resistive load, the power consumed (in this case, 1.8 KW or 1.8 kilowatts) is equal to the applied voltage times the current drawn by the load.

The cost of the power then will be the rate charged by the Electric Company per each kilowatt hour times the kilowatts consumed by the heater times the hours it is used.

Or as an example, if the Utility company charges $0.10 per kilowatt hour (don't we wish!), then for a 1.8 KW heater, the cost would be 18 cents per hour! Note that the fan is an inductive load, and its power is calculated differently. However, its portion of the total 1,800 watt heater is so small as to be insignificant in calculating operating costs.

Answer 4

The cost of running a fan heater for 1 hour depends on the wattage of the heater and your electricity rate. As an example, if a fan heater consumes 1500 watts and your electricity rate is $0.12 per kilowatt-hour, it would cost $0.18 (or 18 cents) to run the heater for 1 hour (1500 watts ÷ 1000 = 1.5 kWh x $0.12).
